Beschreibung
Trees and forests are often described as guardians of silence, sentinels of humanity, and wonderful representatives of the plant world. What makes the fascination of trees? How have artists of the past depicted them, and how do women artists represent them today? This Frenchlanguage book takes an unusual look at these indispensable creatures of nature. Artistic representations from six centuriesincluding paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and photographsdemonstrate their beauty and magic. The images are complemented by poems written especially for an exhibition at the Musée Jenisch in Vevey, Switzerland, and for this coinciding, beautifully designed volume. Together they form a visualpoetic walk, enabling the reader to experience the forest as a mirror, a refuge, and a source of almost unlimited material and metaphorical inspiration.
